Before 'Laila Majnu' released, I would tell friends that after the movie will release, I won't be able to buy groceries freely because people will recognise me. But that didn't happen. I was heartbroken but I dealt with it.
Honestly, I was not good in my debut film 'Poster Boys.' With my second film, 'Laila Majnu,' I was struggling with everything and I just felt lucky to even get the part.
J.T Woodland, known as “the cute one” in The Corporation’s seventh-grade boy band, Boyz Will B Boyz. Due to the success of their triple-platinum hit, “Let Me Shave Your Legs Tonight, Girl,” Boyz Will B Boyz ruled the charts for a solid eleven months before hitting puberty and losing ground to Hot Vampire Boyz.
Post 'Laila Majnu,' I was just sitting at home because I wanted to be part of a story that is as special as 'Bulbbul.'
But Laila has decided that she will not be crippled by resentment. Mariam wouldn’t want it that way. ‘What’s the sense?’ she would say with a smile both innocent and wise. ‘What good is it, Laila jo?’ And so Laila has resigned herself to moving on. For her own sake, for Tariq’s, for her children’s. And for Mariam, who still visits Laila in her dreams, who is never more than a breath or two below her consciousness. Laila has moved on. Because in the end she knows that’s all she can do. That and hope.
One day, I was auditioning for some other thing and my friend was auditioning for 'Laila Majnu.' She asked me to come with her so that we could leave together. While I was waiting, the guy who was taking the audition said, 'Why don't you give it a try.'
I remember when the great composer Madan Mohan had suddenly passed away, the producer-director H.S. Rawail had approached me to complete three of the pending songs in the Rishi Kapoor-Ranjeeta starrer 'Laila Majnu.' I refused saying I am not worthy of sharing a soundtrack with a genius like Madan Mohan saab.
I think my film 'Laila Majnu' was in theatres for 7 days and I was very excited. I attended as many shows I could in those 7 days because I was seeing myself on the big screen for the very first time. I was very excited. But then, sometimes there were 20 people, sometimes 5 or 1 or 2, that really broke my heart.
My childhood friends and I would have been featured in 'The Achievers: The Story of the Big Lebowski Fans,' but I never signed the release form we received from the producers. I am both proud and ashamed of this fact.
We didn't realize it at the time, but the release date, the ad campaign and the poster are so important.
Give consideration to the fact that alien astronomers could have scrutinized Earth for more than 4 billion years without detecting any radio signals, despite the fact that our world is the poster child for habitability.
When I think of tag teams that have made me want to the very best, of course, I think of my family, but I also think about teams like Edge and Christian, The Hardy Boyz, and The Dudley Boyz, who all helped define tag teams during the Attitude Era.
I didn't ask anyone to make me a poster boy, because poster boys always end up on dart boards.
If there's a poster boy for the fact that all essays are written through personae, it's Crèvecoeur.
?I know you're still young but I want you to understand and learn this now. Marriage can wait, education cannot. You're a very very bright girl. Truly you are. You can be anything you want Laila. I know this about you. And I also know that when this war is over Afghanistan is going to need you as much as its men maybe even more. Because a society has no chance of success if its women are uneducated Laila. No chance.
I feel so sorry that many Christians live in bondage even though Jesus has signed their release form with His own blood.
